Have you kept up with Allison Davis’ class?

I’ve done 5 or so, but really happy with them. We’ve had a lot of company so things have been a bit hectic so hoping to resume again soon. I’m thinking there are probably 5 sketches that aren’t speaking to me, but maybe they will at a later date. I follow pretty closely to the sketch. I’m most likely to change the photo size.

Kept up? I haven't even started! For some reason, I struggle with sketches, but it is something I would like to get better at, which is some of the motivation for taking this course. This summer has been busy with other things, but I am excited by what I have seen so far and can't wait to dig in and make some layouts once fal starts.

I’m not sure where I left off. Since starting my new business and now being on a DT, I haven’t had a lot of extra time.

I use sketches and scrap lifts on the regular. My creations hardly ever look exactly like what I’m following. They are almost always just a jumping off point. I don’t want to think that my LO looks just like 5,000 others. Not that it matters if it does, but I like to put my own spin on it.

Haven't done a single lesson yet. I was hoping to do this when my daughter starts school next week but now my husband's company said they can all work from home again which means no time in my craft space (we share the 3rd bedroom/office space).

I haven't even printed off all the sketches so far, that's how far behind I am. I really wanted to keep up and do them each week, but medical issues and then vacation have meant I've had a lot less time than I expected.
I am hoping that printing off some of my vacation shots will inspire me to get going.

For the first 10 weeks I was a star student. I did my layouts on Sunday afternoons and was ready to post them each Monday morning. Love all my layouts, and have used them to experiment with stencils and different products. I almost always follow the sketch closely. Then one of my closest friends and her husband died from COVID within a week of each other. She was one of my band of four scrapbooking buddies. My projects have come to a halt because I just haven’t had any energy left for them right now. I think it will take a while for me to be able to get going again.

That said, I have loved the class and seeing all the variations people come up with. I always see something inspiring.

I saw that on Facebook - I'm so sorry for your loss. ❤

I’ve not kept up but I also didn’t intend to. I will work my way through them this winter when I am stuck at home.

I've been so out of it, I wasn't even aware that Allison Davis teaches classes. I used to subscribe to the Hall of Fame kits, and I purchased several of the books with sketches. I really like her style. How do I access her classes?

Summer hit hard here (oldest just left for college - Freshman) and my DD has had activity after activity, so I have been busy running around like a crazy person. Looking forward to a more set schedule and people being out of the house so I can have some creative time again. I ADORE her sketches, so I know I will get alot of use out of them.

**I DID get to go to Scrapbook Generations on our way home from a trip to help my in-laws with some things around their house (they are in Texas and we are in Illinois). It was SO good to be in an actual scrapbook store! I bought some wonderful things!

It's a wrap on the class! I did finish all 20. Loved it. And am floundering now with no scrappy mojo! I've pulled down the free sketch from the SG Scrap Squad virtual crop this weekend, but I just can't pick paper...I miss my 6x6 motivation!

I have only done 5 or so. I do intend to use the rest of the sketches at some point.

@rush2scrap, any chance Alison will do a different sketch class to finish up the year? A fall/winter holiday themed class would be awesome!

I don't blame her - she definitely deserves a break!!

Maybe she could do a scrapping through the year class, and the store could sell optional kits for each month (or just one big one at the beginning of the year - papers, die cuts, embellishments, thread, etc). Of course people could use their own stash for any classes as well.
